Phoronix: The AMD Radeon Performance Is Incredible On Linux 3.12

Over the weekend I released benchmarks showing the Linux 3.12 kernel bringing big AMD Radeon performance improvements. Those benchmarks of a Radeon HD 4000 series GPU showed the Linux 3.12 kernel bringing major performance improvements over Linux 3.11 and prior. Some games improved with just low double-digit gains while other Linux games were nearly 90% faster! Interestingly, the AMD Radeon Linux developers were even surprised by these findings. After carrying out additional tests throughout the weekend, I can confirm these truly incredible performance improvements on other hardware. In this article are results from ten different AMD Radeon graphics cards.

Somehow this made be just buy the phoronix premium. Having used adblock for years its only fair i think.

But as the previous commentator said, how about some more modern games? There isn't much point in knowing that a game will get 300 or 320 fps, what is more important is to know if some modern games run at 20 or 40 fps.
